Socialism No Longer a Dirty Word

Despite a concerted effort by the U.S. Empire to snuff out the ideology,
a 2016 poll found young Americans have a much more favorable view of
socialism than capitalism.

Though he died 133 years ago, the
analysis put forward by one of the world’s most influential thinkers,
Karl Marx, remains extremely relevant today. The Empire’s recent rigged
presidential election has been disrupted by the support of an avowed
socialist, Bernie Sanders, by millions of voters.

To find out
why Marx’s popularity has stood the test of time, Abby Martin interviews
renowned Marxist economist Richard Wolff, Professor Emeritus of
Economics at UMass - Amherst, and visiting professor at the New School
in New York.

Prof. Wolff gives an introduction suited for both
beginners and seasoned Marxists, with comprehensive explanations of key
tenets of Marxism including dialectical and historical materialism,
surplus value, crises of overproduction, capitalism's internal
contradictions, and more.
